Post total reps to comments.
Scaling:
Welcome to the first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals! Today's workout is a gut check. How bad do you want to push for another rep? None of the movements should be overly difficult or too heavy, so there is no reason to stop moving. The barbell should feel on the lighter side of moderate. You should be able to perform touch-and-go reps, however, under fatigue, you may choose to perform fast singles to keep moving.
Choose a pace on the rower that is fast relative to your capacity but still allows you to get right to work on the dumbbell box step-ups. Your goal on the dumbbell box step-ups is to hold onto the dumbbells until the minute is up. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Remember, there is no rest between movements, so accumulate as many reps as possible of each movement but leave time to transition to the next. Plan to stop with 5-10 seconds left in the minute to transition for all of the movements except the dumbbell box step-ups. During the minute of rest, try to control your breathing by taking deep breaths in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. If you are not signed up for the Quarterfinals, choose loads that challenge your ability but allow you to keep moving and hit the workout stimulus.

Today’s workout is meant to be a heavy sprint. Regardless of the other two movements, push the pace on the bike and don’t game it. Exiting the bike a little wobbly is what makes this workout fun. The 5 front squats should be tough and feel heavy; however, you should be able to clean the barbell to start the reps and perform each set unbroken.

Scaling:
Today’s workout challenges your upper-body gymnastics stamina. Expect the fatigue from the burpees to have a dramatic impact on the handstand walks. Advanced athletes should push the pace on the burpees and try to maintain unbroken handstand walks. Less-experienced athletes should manage their pace on the burpees and rest as needed before kicking up. If you can perform a 50-foot handstand walk but can’t complete it in under 1 minute, scale the distance. Be cautious of upper-body fatigue. If you feel like you might collapse or buckle if you kick up, give yourself a chance to recover and gain confidence before continuing. Remember to continuously press into the floor and maintain an active position. Work hard and have fun with this one.

Expect to go around and around the merry-go-round in today’s workout. The rep volume is low, and so is the loading. This should allow you to push the pace for the entire duration of the workout. Advanced athletes should try to maintain unbroken reps for as many sets as possible. Less-experienced athletes should scale the movements to perform a single round in 2 minutes or less. That said, we could see advanced athletes maintaining a single round every minute.

This benchmark workout was first posted on CrossFit.com on Aug. 25, 2003. When the community was introduced to Fran, CrossFit’s founder Greg Glassman challenged people to beat original CrossFit athlete Greg Amundson's time of 3:59. Today, elite athletes complete the prescribed workout in under 2 minutes. Fran is intended to be a sprint. Experienced athletes should go hard and shoot for a PR! Choose a load for the thruster that allows you to complete at least 15 unbroken reps. Select a pull-up option that allows you to complete each round with minimal rest. Intermediate and beginner athletes should establish a goal for this workout and create a plan for breaking up the thrusters and/or pull-ups as necessary.

Today’s workout is a repeat from a previous CrossFit Open. If you have completed this workout before, look back and try to beat your score. There are two ways to attack: If you are capable of performing the workout as prescribed, but the volume in each round is going to keep you from moving quickly, perform the workout as prescribed and see how far you can get. Alternatively, scale the movements so you can push yourself to complete at least 2 rounds.

Today’s workout is a fast couplet. Expect your grip to be taxed on both movements. Double-unders should not take more than 45 seconds each round. Intermediate athletes should choose a number of double-unders they can consistently achieve within 30 seconds. If necessary, reduce the reps or perform attempts for a given amount of time each round. The load of the barbell should be light. Over the course of the workout, the load may even be annoying because you want to put it down, but there is no reason to do so. Push for unbroken rounds and manage your transition times.

5 rounds for time of:
4 strict deficit handstand push-ups
8 kipping deficit handstand push-ups
16 dumbbell box step-overs
♀ 4-inch deficit, 20-inch box, 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 6-inch deficit, 24-inch box, 50-lb dumbbells
Hold two dumbbells in a farmers carry position for the step-overs.
Post your time to comments.
Goal: Upper-body pressing strength endurance + posterior-chain endurance. Aim to finish in 12-15 minutes.
Aim to move from the strict handstand push-ups (ideally unbroken) to the kipping without breaking and complete the kipping handstand push-ups in 1 to 2 sets. Break the step-overs as needed to achieve the goal.
The goal is to move unbroken from the strict to the kipping handstand push-ups. This adds an element of speed that can be surprising. Aim to complete the kipping handstand push-ups in 1-2 sets.
The training effect will be interesting because we don't get a break on the step-ups since they are loaded with dumbbells — your upper back and rear delts will be under tension the entire time. Break up the step-ups as needed to maintain the goal of the day.
Scaling:
Intermediate option:

4 strict handstand push-ups
8 kipping handstand push-ups
16 dumbbell box step-overs
♀ 20-inch box, 25-lb dumbbells
♂ 24-inch box, 35-lb dumbbells
For the handstand push-ups, you may reduce the reps to 3 and 6, respectively, so long as the strict handstand push-ups remain unbroken. If the volume of handstand push-ups is still too high, consider reducing the reps further or adding one or two AbMats under your head to reduce range of motion.
Beginner option:
5 rounds for time of:
4 strict dumbbell shoulder presses
8 dumbbell push presses
16 unweighted box step-overs
♀ 16-inch box
♂ 20-inch box
Use the heaviest pair of dumbbells that allows you to complete 4 strict shoulder presses and 8 push presses unbroken.
The main focus for beginners is pressing endurance with the strict and push press. This is a great opportunity to practice core-to-extremity movement patterns. Focus on keeping your weight in your heels for the entire workout.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
20 single-under crossovers
10 burpee pull-ups
12 GHD sit-ups
Post rounds and reps to comments.
Goal: Conditioning + pulling endurance.
This is our homage to the Open and Quarterfinals coming soon! It's a bodyweight workout that can make you dizzy!
Last year, we faced single-under crossovers and burpee pull-ups. Today, we're combining these two movements with one that will interfere by adding a large range of motion hip flexion. There is no rest unless you've practiced your single-under crossovers.
Slow and steady wins the race. These movements take various times and rushing, especially on the crossovers, can cause unnecessary mistakes. There's no real rhythm in this workout so you'll need to adapt to the speed of execution of each movement. The burpee pull-ups will eat up a lot of time, but if you move efficiently, creating the same steps for each rep, you will find the rhythm. The GHD sit-ups will feel the most chaotic since it's a high-velocity movement, but we can control that by taking a quick breath at the top of each rep and controlling our descent with the help of gravity. To help with proper mechanics and prevent dizziness, keep your gaze neutral and focus on a point far away from you such as where the wall meets the ceiling.
Scaling:
Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
4 x [4 single-unders + 1 crossover]
10 burpee jumping pull-ups
12 GHD sit-ups to parallel
The biggest sticking point in this workout is the technical demand of the crossovers. This is why we've split the work into short sets with one crossover at the end. If this is not a challenge, reduce the number of single-unders completed between crossovers until 20 total jumps have been accumulated. The pull-up bar should sit 2-3 inches below the wrists for the jumping pull-ups.
Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
20 single-unders
6 up-down jumping pull-ups
12 AbMat sit-ups
Beginner athletes should start at a conservative pace. Approach this workout as you would a 5K run: You wouldn’t begin at a 400-meter sprint pace. Aim to keep the single-unders as smooth as possible; that’s your recovery time.

Scaling:
Reduce the load on the power cleans and bench presses. Choose a load on the barbell that allows for moderately heavy singles. Choose a dumbbell load with which you’re able to complete the first 20 in 3 sets or less. The double-under can be modified to 30 lateral jumps over the barbell. For the L-sit hold, watch “L-Sit Drills,” choose a drill, and practice.
